Programme content


In the First Year there are core modules in algebra and analysis, which introduce not only topics that are fundamental to a wide range of mathematics but also a structured way of dealing with mathematical ideas that is absolutely universal to mathematics. They are quite intensive. Students also follow modules in: Classical mechanics; Introduction to statistics; Introduction to computer architecture and programming

In the Second Year, you will continue to study algebra and analysis. In addition you will select modules of your choice from a range that includes exploring some of the First Year topics in greater depth.

In the Third and Fourth Years, you will have the opportunity to choose subjects from a selection of over 20 wide-ranging options. Many subjects cover topics from the first and second year, but additional possibilities include computer engineering, mathematical economics, cryptography and computer-aided design
